With a Consumer Report rating of 36/100, Mount Sinai Medical Center has some of the lowest ratings for communication of drug information, avoiding MRSA infection, appropriate use of chest scanning, and avoiding surgery-related death. Given its alarmingly low rating, it is no wonder that the facility has a history of legal trouble. In 2003, a patient underwent intraspinal surgery to repair a spinal fluid leak. The attending neurosurgeon injected the patient with a drug that clearly warned against using it as an intraspinal injection. She is now bedridden, in constant pain, and unable to return to her job as a nurse. A jury awarded the patient $38 million.
Last year, a man was beaten and choked to death by his roommate at Mount Sinai Medical Center. The roommate, who also had outstanding warrants for drug charges, was admitted involuntarily to the psychiatric health unit. Incidents such as these happen when hospital staff is negligent in its duties, failing to meet the standard of care and risking the lives of patients who place their trust in them. If you or someone you love was injured due to a negligent hospital or medical professional, you have the right to hold them accountable.
